Clem was born in Calgary, Alberta, and lives there with his wife and two daughters.

'Martini writes spare but muscular prose which vividly conjures landscape, character and situation. He knows how to build narrative and create suspense and maintain reader interest until the very last sentence ... there is every intimation that the future volumes may be even more enthralling. An impressive debut' Daily Express 'The Mob... is an epic tale of bravery, betrayal, rivalry and foolhardiness. It is a fully conceived and convincing world.' Times Educational Supplement 'The archaic tone gives Martini's prose weight, while still making it accessible enough for children' Big Issue '"a Canadian Watership Down for Crows" may explain it, but it doesn't do this wonderfully moving book justice ... Fast paced and totally absorbing' Philip Ardagh, Guardian Children's Supplement
